Bets for Today VIP Tips – Full Review

 

Bets for Today VIP Tips is a combined football and horse racing service providing a range of different bets from singles to doubles, accas, lucky 15s, odds boosts and more. 

You can get different sets of tips depending on which level of membership you go for.

The most basic are the free tips, which include the horse racing daily each-way bet and the football daily double, right up to the Platinum VIP membership which comes in at just £16.99 per month (at the time of writing) and includes all the tips.

We ran an extended 18 month trial of the service – incorporating all of the tips in the VIP service – which gave us a very thorough and extensive look at their performance. 

In total we proofed over 2,000 tips – one of the largest sample sizes of a trial we have done here at Honest Betting Reviews. 

Whilst we have summarised all the results collectively in the table at the top of this page to give the total profit figure of £1593 profit to £20 stakes (or 80 points profit), it is probably more meaningful to take a look at each of the systems separately. Certainly the ROI figure of 4% across all the systems does not reflect that some had considerably better than this.  

Here are the results then for each strategy over the course of our trial:- 

• Footy Doubles: +£223
• Footy Trebles: +£107
• Footy Accas: +£3
• Racing Each Way Earner: +£64
• Racing Nap: +£287
• Racing Double: +£474
• Racing Lucky 15: +£18
• Odds Boosts: +£417

What’s really impressive is that they made a profit across each one of the strategies, which is no mean feat. 

However, some made significantly more profit than others so really it looks like the ones to focus on are the Footy Doubles, Racing Naps, Racing Doubles and Odds Boosts. 

In some ways we are not surprised that some of the systems involving larger multiples – trebles, accas, lucky 15s etc did not do quite as well.

We have often written on this site about how tough it is to get value on multiple bets (accas) – hence why the bookies love them and entice customers to place such bets with all kinds of special offers and bonuses. On a double you can probably just about secure value but much beyond that it becomes tough. 

In any event, the performance of the better systems was strong enough over the course of 18 months to suggest they are worth following. 

And with very reasonable subscription costs compared to many other services we have reviewed here at HBR, all in all Bets for Today VIP Tips has proven itself well worthy of a PASSED rating from us.  

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: The selections are sent out by e-mail, usually late in the morning (UK time), with a reasonable amount of time to get the bets on before racing starts (and plenty of time for football). If you are following all the systems there are quite a lot of bets to place but you can narrow this down by just focusing on certain systems.  

Availability of prices: There appeared to be a slight impact on some of the prices of the horse racing tips after they were posted, although the effect was not uniform so it could have just been general weight of money. We didn’t notice any impact on prices on the football tips.  

Strike rate: The strike rate for our trial was solid at 35% across the systems and there weren’t any noticeable drawdowns during the review. 

Advised Betting Bank: We couldn’t see any betting bank is recommended for following the systems, but would have thought a 100 point bank for each one would be sufficient and this proved to be the case for our trial. 

Subscription costs: The current subscription costs at the time of writing are very reasonable given the results achieved over the last 18 months, starting at free for the daily each-way horse racing tip and daily football double up to £16.99 per month for the VIP Platinum Tips which includes all the systems. 

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

Bets for Today VIP Tips is a combined football and horse racing service providing a range of different bets from singles to various multiples. 

We ran an extended 18 month trial of the service and in that time it delivered an impressive £1593 profit to £20 stakes (or 80 points profit). All of the systems finished in profit, although some performed considerably better than others so it is probably a good idea to focus on the best performing ones. 

Overall though with very reasonable subscription costs and strong results we are happy to award this service a PASSED rating.

Previously the horse racing tips had been doing quite a bit better than the football ones but those positions somewhat flipped this month, thanks to a series of bets that all came in on the same day, including a double and treble involving Gronigen beating PSV at odds of 10/1. 

So that put the footy doubles and trebles well into profit, whilst some of the racing bets didn’t have quite such a good month. 

In any event, the bets as a whole are well up – including every bet type now – which is the main thing.

In some ways that doesn’t surprise us as it is notoriously difficult to make a profit from betting on football, particularly when betting in multiples.

Bets for Today VIP Tips – New Review

We have completed our 12 month review of The Basketball Geek and here are the final results:-

 

Profit/Loss:	+147 points profit
Strike Rate:	36%
Bank Growth:	196%
ROI:	9%
Average number of bets:	4-5 bets per day
Cost:	£1.99 for first 15 days then £37 per month
VERDICT:	PASSED

The Basketball Geek – Full Review

 

Geek – One who passionately engages in one or more things to extreme levels. 

That’s the definition of a geek according to Urban Dictionary and seems about right to us. 

In the case of The Basketball Geek the description appears quite apt. They provide tips in a variety of basketball leagues around the world and clearly have an exceptional level of expertise. 

The markets tipped include match odds, which cover the majority of bets, but also handicaps and over/unders.

After an extended 12 month trial they made an excellent 147 points profit, which represented a near tripling of the recommended 75 point betting bank. 

Those results were achieved with a decent strike rate of 36% and a solid return on investment (ROI) of 9%. 

We managed to gather an excellent sample size of over 1600 bets, so there can be no doubt that this tipster demonstrated a clear edge over the market during our review. 

As you can see from the graph below, the profit was very steady throughout our trial, with a slight flattening out towards the end:

The only issue we could find with the service was odds availability, which we will deal with further below in our service breakdown. 

In terms of the results at advised prices however, they were undoubtedly top class and it’s a definite PASSED rating for The Basketball Geek from us. 

 

Service Breakdown

Ease of use: It’s quite a high volume service with around 4-5 bets per day on average, so does require a little bit of work in following. Tips are sent out by email, usually around 8am UK time. 

Availability of prices: As mentioned above, this was our main concern with the service as we did witness quite a bit of pressure on prices during our trial. As many of the markets tipped in are quite niche, it doesn’t take a great deal of money to move them and we could see that in action here. 

That’s not to say that prices moved in on every selection – on some occasions the advised prices were still available even a couple of hours after tips were sent out. And certainly having a Pinnacle and Bet 365 account would be a significant advantage if following this service. But even then, we would say that realistically it would be tough to always match the results at advised prices. 

It would be realistic to expect your profits to be somewhere between 20-30% lower than the official ones we would say, if you have access to a decent number of bookie accounts and act quickly after tips are sent out. 

That still leaves a very good profit though even taking this into account and certainly it is not a Hugh Taylor or Pricewise situation where odds are smashed in half instantly after being sent out.  

Given the markets tipped in are fairly niche, it would not be practical to follow this service on Betfair, where some of the markets are not even available. 

Strike rate: The strike rate for the trial was 36%, which is solid enough and meant steady returns throughout the trial. 

Advised Betting Bank: A 75 point betting bank is recommended for following the service and that seems pretty fair to us, although you could use a 100 point bank to be on the safe side. 

Subscription costs: The subscription costs at the time of writing are £1.99 for first 15 days then £37 per month.

Or there are special offers of £39 for the first 3 months (then £37/month) or £59 for the first 6 months (then £37/month). Those costs are pretty reasonable given the results achieved to date.

 

OVERALL VERDICT: PASSED

We haven’t come across many basketball tipsters in our time running Honest Betting Reviews but we are certainly glad we found this one. 

With an excellent profit of 147 points during our 12 month trial, which represented a near-tripling of the betting bank, it’s a clear PASSED rating from us. 

The only concern we have with the service is price availability as the markets tipped in tend to be quite niche, so it can be tough to match the advised prices on occasion. We think it is realistic to expect a slight reduction on the official results – perhaps 20-30% in total if you act quickly and have access to a fair range of bookie accounts.

Overall you should still be able to achieve close to the advised price results though, which as we say were excellent and well deserving of a passed rating for The Basketball Geek.

The Basketball Geek – Results Update

28th June 2021

A small step backwards for The Basketball Geek this month, with a loss of 5 points made since our last update.

With the profits made previously however they are still 152 points up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

Just a reminder that bets come in leagues all over the world and in men’s and women’s basketball, so it can pay to have a wide variety of bookies’ accounts to cover all the bets, for example with Marathonbet, SBO Bet etc as well the traditional bookies like Bet365. 

Anyway, hopefully we’ll see a return to winning ways for the Basketball Geek next month.

The Basketball Geek – Results Update

29th May 2021

The long winning run of The Basketball Geek finally came to an end this month, with a loss of 26 points made since our last update.

With the profits made previously however they are still 157 points up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

We are less than two months away from having a full year’s proofing of this service which is good to see and it has certainly stood up very well during a long term trial despite the recent dip.

 

 

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

The Basketball Geek – Results Update

29th April 2021

The Basketball Geek continues to churn out the profits, with another solid 5 points added since our last update.

That means they are now a very impressive 183 points up for our trial overall though. 

You can view full results here.

A trend we are noticing on the tips is that prices with Bet365 tend to hold up better than with other bookies. Betfair Sportsbook can also hold its prices pretty well, as with one of today’s tips that was quoted at 3.0 and is still available at those odds.

Some of the other bookies prices tend to get pushed down more noticeably as these are quite niche leagues being tipped in. Overall though we would say it should be possible to obtain the advised prices or close to them on most tips.

 

 

 

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

The Basketball Geek – Results Update

29th March 2021

Yet more profits for The Basketball Geek, with another 5 points added since our last update.

That means they are now 178 points up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

We remarked last time on the pressure on prices after tips are released and this is becoming more of an issue.

If we take today for example, there are three selections. Two of the tips are on over/under points totals and the lines have moved by a couple of points with the bookies available to us. That is equivalent to the odds having dropped on those selections. 

On the third selection, the advised price is still available with B365 over four hours after the tip was sent, which is good.

So there are certain instances where you may not be able to obtain advised prices, but it doesn’t happen every time. Certainly having Pinnacle and B365 would be an advantage if following this service. Overall though the profits have been so good that even missing out on a few prices here and there, you should still be well ahead. 

 

 

 

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

The Basketball Geek – Results Update

17th February 2021

The Basketball Geek continues to hammer the bookies without mercy, amassing another 52 points profit since our last update a month ago.

That means he is now a phenomenal 173 points up for our trial overall – all at one point level stakes!

You can view full results here.

Given the excellent results and popularity of the service there is some pressure coming in on prices now, so it is advisable to get your bets on as soon as possible after tips are sent out. 

Normally there are multiple bookies quoted so there are options for getting your bets on, even if you don’t have B365 which tends to be top price quite often.

18th January 2021

Yet more profits for The Basketball Geek, with another 15 points added since our last update a month ago.

That means they are now 121 points up for our trial overall.

One aspect we like about this service (besides the profits, obviously!) is that the staking is all one point level-stakes, so easy to follow and no artificial inflating of results like some other services. 

Well worth checking out, great stuff from the Geek.

That means they have now smashed through the 100-point barrier for our review, with 106 points profit made for our trial overall.

It’s been good to see a service really live up to the hype and produce results matching its pre-trial performance, which we have certainly seen here. 

Fingers crossed that continues for the long term.

The Basketball Geek – Results Update

13th November 2020

It’s been an excellent month for The Basketball Geek, with a profit of 39 points made since our last update. 

That means they are now 66 points up for our trial overall.

You can view full results here.

Just a quick word on prices with this service. Generally we have found prices hold up pretty well, although there are some instances where the odds drop a little after tips are released. 

For example, looking at today’s tips, there are three bets still to run. 

There are two longer shots – one advised at 9.0 that is currently available at 9.5 with Paddy Power and Betfair Sportsbook and one advised at 3.5 that is still available at those odds with B365, BF Sportsbook and Redzone. 

At the same time though, the other tip is an overs bet advised at 1.86 which is currently a best price of 1.73. 

So it’s not as if there is an instant crash in prices or anything like that, but prices can move in on certain tips so it’s a good idea to get your bets on as soon as you can. 

Anyway, good progress from this service which has been very consistent so far – just what we like to see.

The Basketball Geek – Results Update

13th October 2020

A small profit for the Basketball Geek over the last month, with a gain of 7 points made since our last update. 

That means they are now 27 points up for our trial overall. 

You can view full results here.

Bets come in leagues all over the world and in men’s and women’s basketball, so it can pay to have a wide variety of bookies’ accounts to cover all the bets, for example with Marathonbet, SBO Bet etc as well the traditional bookies like Bet365. 

A solid if unspectacular performance for our review so far, let’s see if they can kick on and really get going for the rest of our trial.

It’s been a quiet start to our trial of The Basketball Geek, with just one point profit made so far after one month.

Bets come in a variety of leagues including the NBA, WNBA and from places like Tunisia and Australia so it’s pretty wide ranging. 

Anyway, a quiet start as we say so let’s see if they can get things going by the time of our next update.

The Basketball Geek – New Review

17th July 2020

Geek – One who passionately engages in one or more things to extreme levels. 

That’s the definition of a geek according to Urban Dictionary and seems about right to us. 

Our next trial is of a service which actually refers to themselves as a geek – The Basketball Geek to be specific – and given their results, the name appears quite apt. 

This is clearly someone who “passionately engages in one or more things to extreme levels” – and that is betting on basketball!

The results are testament to their knowledge and engagement with the sport, with a profit of over 190 points made since they started proofing to Betting Gods in November 2019. 

That has been achieved with a more-than-decent ROI of 19% and an excellent strike rate of 56%, meaning a high proportion of the bets so far have been winners.

Most impressive of all, the advised betting bank of 75 points would have grown by over 260%, which means a substantial return on capital to date. 

In terms of consistency that looks rock solid as well, with all eight months being profitable so far. 

We can’t say we’ve bet on basketball much over the years but as we always say, if a service can make a profit we don’t really mind what it bets on – it could be tiddlywinks for all we care! If it is making a consistent profit then that’s all we’re looking for really. 

It will make a nice change to try out a new sport in many ways so we are looking forward to testing this service out. We started receiving tips on 14th July so will record results from then. Check back here for regular updates on how things are going. 

In the meantime you can check out The Basketball Geek for yourself here.
